SOHOOL MATTERS.—The Entrance fee at Wingham, Brussels, and Wroxeter, will be 75 cts by order of .County Council The fees at Sea - forth and Clinton have not been fixed but will probably be about the same. The High School Boards fix these. CONCERNING THE LATE PREMIER. —It was not learned in town until ..about ten o'clock on Sunday morn- ing, that the Premier had passed away, when flags were hoisted at half- mast. A good many people in town were personally acquainted with Sir John, be having made two visits here. One of Cooper & Co's windows is oc- cupied by a statute of the deceased, the background being draped in black, while flowers scattered about add to the attractions of the design. A n'amber of the stores were closed yesterday (Thursday) afternoon from 1 to 4, while the bell was tolled, this being the time that his remains were committed to the earth.

CLINTONIANS ALWAYS SUCCEED.— The Stratford Times, ot last week, thus refers to a son of Mr John Jack- son, of this town: —"Mr. Arthur Jackson, for the past three and a half years in the employ of Mr N A Boewortb, .druggists, bas accepted a position in the large drug store of Stewart, Johnston & Co, Toronto, and left for that city Wednesday last. 'The young .man is gentlemanly, at- , tentive and thoroughly competent to take charge of the dispensing depart- ment of any drug store. He will surely make his mark and The Times trusts he may." Conductor.Suider was called away to Hawiltou, on, Tbureday, owing to the serious illness of aabrotber in Hamilton. Mr Frank Jackson, (son of Mr John Jackson) who has been working in Kansas City, has bought nut a hotograph-i-ng business -at Barrie. - Mr. John Scott, formerly of the Woollen Mill, has charge of the elec- tric light plant at Portage la Prairie, and it is said he will move bis family there. Messrs James Howson, T. Jackson sr,, and N. Robson were in Goderich on Wednesday evening, organizing a Sons of England lodge. The grand Secretary and the grand Vice Presi- dent were also present. Those of our business men, who receive weekly a copy of a publication known as "Printer's Ink" will find its pages very interesting, and need have no fear that they will be billed for its subscription, as the NEW ERA has paid the same. PERSONAL.—Mr McGee, of Eg- mondyille, was no visiting friends this week. Miss Depew, of Toronto, is visiting relatives here. Mr R Agnew, of Parkhill, has been here for a couple of days, thee say gravita- tion is so strong that Bob is lrresis • ably drawn here. Mrs Sleeth, of ';Toronto, is visiting her mother, Mrs Goodrich. Mr Will McTaggart, of Toronto, is home on a visit; he came via London, from which place he rode up on his bicycle. Miss M Jackson has gone on a visit to rela- tives in Chicago. Nearly, it not all, the Methodist pulpits in the county of Huron, and possibly in a good many other counties also, were filled on Sunday last by laymen. How they were filled, is quite another matter. if you want a Pena the will not rust, giro.,., us.a call Get your favorite newspaper from ROBINS BROS, Weir's old stand. oppogite the Market, Clinton Rev Dr Gregg (father of Mrs Stewart) has been visiting here for a couple of weeks, and returned home on 'Monday. When Sir John A resided in Terorrto,-Mr Gregg -had -him -for -a neighbor two doors to.•. the right, while Hon Geo Brown was a neigh bor two doors to the left. The Rev Andrew Milliken, of the Methodist denomipation, died at Sarnia on Thursday evening, aged 68 years. He had suffered from paraly- sis during the past five years. He was on the superannuatedlist, and had formerly been a missionary on the Indian reserve below Sarnia. Deceased was at one time stationed at Holmesville. Conti ary to general expectation, the Conference did not appoint Rev. Jos. Edge to North St., Goderich, but to Acton instead,Rev. Mr Howell, form- erly of Seaforth, going to Goderich. While this is a disappointment, not Judge.

A RIS:NG MINIST ER.—The Mitch - Mrs W. J.

Woods, who is a graduate of the Mr Gallagher is manager of the Daily ; Mitchell High School, preached in Telegram, Vancouver, B. C. and said Trinity Church on Sunday evening to be doing well in that city. last. Since his former visit as a student, he has improved wonderfully both in his reading and delivery. He is master of a fine voice, and modulates it so as to make his de- livery very impressive. Like most of the young men now being turned out of Huron College, he preaches without manuscript and succeeds in riveting the attention of his hearers from start to close. Mr. W. 0 Searle is visiting down in Logan; as he took a pair of prun- uing shears and other paraphrenalia pertaining thereto, the probabilities are that he is attending to the ab- normal excressences that disfigure natures handiwork down there. Mr John Jackson was confined to the house for a couple of days by an attack of grip, but is now better. Me E. Corbett was also an invalid for a day or two. These gentlemen are both strangers to illness and hardly know the nature of a severe sickness Cantelon Bros are doing quite an extensive business in the export of butter to the city markets. The wonder is that not only in this line, but in a number of others that ap- parently offer a good margin of pro- fit, it has not been more extensively pursued hitherto. The Winnipeg Commercial ot a recent date, contains a long account of the extensive harness business of Mr E. F. Hutchings, in that city. Mr J. M. Campbell, an old time Clintonian, has been connected for 11 years with the establishment, occupying a responsible position therewith. Everybody was pleased to see Mr A McMurcbie on the street, on Tues- day, even though his movements were somewhat retarded by the inability to use freely one of his legs. In all other r&spects he is first rate, and looks very well for a man who has suffered as be has. We are very aorry to bear of the death of Mr Allan McLean, brother of Mr M Y McLean, of the Exposi- tor, which took place in Colorado, a week ago. A few weeks since we Musko▪ ka made reference to his illnesa,and need only repeat what we said then, that SuccEsarun STunENTs.--The following he was in all respects a good man,and ex -students of the Clinton Collegiate one whose demise will be deeply Institute, who prepared here either for mourned.

A NOVEL AMPUTATION,—For the past ten years Albert Petty, an em- ploye of the Goderich Organ Factory, has been troubled .with the second toe of his right foot, which bad at- tained an abnormal growth and had overlapped oil the great toe. Latter- ly it became particularly tronble- some and Albert decided to have it amputated. To this end he asked a fetlow workman to sharpen a chisel, and after the close of work on Friday last ho held his foot on a block and wilted his companion to strike offthe toe with the chisel. At first his friend demurred, but finally he placed the instrument on the objec- tionable toe, and -, merely saying. "Now, Albert, turn your bead," quietly lopped it off by tapping the chiset with a -ballet. Petty says he thought his friend had missed it, but when he looked down he saw that toe had been severed. The amateur surgeon and Petty then dressed the stump and the latter • walked home. The whole operation and dressing did not take three minutes, and inside of four days Petty was able to wear a boot on his right foot, and is now at work again. The whole affair was an exhibition of strong nerve.—Signal. tAb ie a Olintoniar, having resided here for .ictus.] Local Sporting Notes. Seaforth and Stratford Juniors play- ed at Lacrosse at Stratford on Satur- day, the foriner winning four straight games. Clinton and Goderich Juniors played Lacrosse on. Friday, the -home team being defeated. The first gamewith the American vis- itors from the New England Football League was played at Seaforth, Ont., Tuesday afternoon. The weather was warm and the attendance moderate. The team opposing the Americans was owing to inability to get players from Detroit and Berlin, largely made up of Seaforth men, Sims and Young, of Ber- lin, being the only players from out- side. The Americans won the match 4 goals to 1.

BAD ACCIDENT.—On Friday after- noon last Mr Samuel Booth, fore man for oue of the departments at the Doherty Organ Factory, met with an accident that was not only exceed- ly painful,but one that will lay him off for some time: He was engaged in cleaning away some material from a circular saw, when bis right hand was caught and the index finger and thumb cut clean away from the hand, besides other portions of the hand being injured.

The lightning injured telephone connections consid erably, at one time setting fire to some woodwork in Rumball's store, but doing no injury. A very accept. able rain fell most of the afternoon, but it was not general over the coun- try. Resolution of Condolence. At a special meeting of the Town Council, on Wednesday morning, the following resolution was unan•' imously passed. Moved by Mr Manning, seconded by Mr Kennedy, that this Council in common with the people of our whole Dominion deeply deplores the death of the Rt. Hon. Sir Jno. A. Macdonald, First Minister of the Crown for the Dominion of Canada, and to give expression to its sorrow hereby places upon its record book this resolution. The deceased states. limn by a lona list of illustrious services rendered to his sovereign and country, chief among which were the parts he took in the Con- federation of the Province into a Dominion and connecting them to- gether by a great transcontinental Railway, earned for himself the gratitude of our populace and handed his name down in the history of our country. The work pertormed dur - ing nearly, halfa century for his coun- try and people made him: the first colonial statesman of his day, and in hie long and eminent career he gained the affections and unsevering allegiance ofthr. great party which he so successfuly led and the eeteehc keep would be a valuable possession. and admiration of his political op. , But there is no security from these ponents. We join in the universal gree, sympathy now being shown for I shall in the future continue some Lady Macdonald and family in the remarks on different phases of life here, hour of their trial and bereavement but don't wish to ask too much of and respectfully send them this resol- your valuable space at once, thanking ration as the sentiments of our coun- ,o you thio spa. a Ilam,e yours sleety, ail and people. Well wear something like this sails." The heavily timbered county gave the explorer the hope that it would be like the "front". But alas! after all the burning and logging, the greatest labor was but begun. To plow here, I fancy, would be• dangerous, and' have grave doubts of its possibility. But "rocks by Nature turn to beds of down." Here the strong and able-bod- ied can make a home, and poverty can be driven away with more success and happiness than by means of the "black flag—"bread or work" Muskoka is properly a grazing conn - try. Grass, hay and water are here in abundance,the centre markets,Toronto, &c, are also near. Oats are grown to advantage as well as other grains, yet it is more advantageous to buy our flour. Vegetables of all kinds do well— potatoes in particular, small fruits last the whole year, starvstiln can thus be kept awav—for "\ n t i ! e is a mother kind alike to all," 1 very little mon- ey can be made. Many a man, after laboring hard all summer at home, has wu6 to go to the "camp" in the wint, r to make some money to clothe his family. Able-bodi- ed sons are groat a help to the family in this respect. What are the present drawbacks ? The settlements are scattered. Many have "sickened" and left. To sell they could not so they had to "pick up their bed and walk", The burden has fall- en on the few. There is no sale for the land. The new -comer if mar- ried can take up a free grant of 200 acres from the Government, 100 if not married. Another disadvantage is the forest fire, the settler who was fortunate en- ough to have been in ere the Govern- ment took possession of the pine on the Crown land, lives in constant dread of the fire sweeping through and destroy- ing not only the woods but everything. The forest is now full of birch, maple, hemlock and other timber which to i 1 The Leadhig Milliners, Stock fully assorted with newest Shapes; Flowers, and Trimmings, at prices to please you. - AND KEEP COOL or SPECIAL VALUE in HENRIETTAS, u.., Greens; Browns, and Fawn Shades,_04., prices that will sell them. • Jay JACKSONBROTIEERS Clothiers, Furnishers and Hatters.
